      Great company to work at for a few years; you can learn a ton about software, hardware, and services development.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunity to move around and work in different teams, disciplines, on different types of products. Knowing that you impact millions of people worldwide with your work. Flexible work environment. Smart colleagues. Good salary and benefits.

      Cons

      It's become very big, and there can be a lot of process (depending on the team.) Too much overlap across different teams' charters. Not very innovative, doesn't take risks.

      Microsoft - from great to good

      Lead software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Microsoft was one of the greatest places to work in this industry as you got to work alongside great people and solve difficult problems for the entire world. There are only a few companies that you can work at that truly make a difference in everyone's lives.

      Cons

      Somewhere along the way the upper management lost sight of the ball and kept looking for the next billion dollar business without realizing that the current billion dollar businesses started from humble beginnings. The lean mean machine that was Microsoft when I joined back in the mid-90's has long gone - middle age has not been kind.

      inflexible behemoth with great benefits

      Pros

      Great benefits, good pay, many other perks.

      Cons

      it all depends on the team and who you know. it is much easier to go out of the company, get a promotion and come back in at a higher level than work your way up. even though there are annual reviewes, individual goals are not alinged with those of the ocmpany and many teams end up working on the same stuff or simply waisting company resources if it's in the GM's interests to gorw his/her org.
